Client Connection

Hi all,

So, I've got the server and master up and running and imported the Client into MS Visual Studio 2010, Compiled and can run the client.

I've added in a world_settings.xml which is as follows:
<client_config>
<loopback_world_response world_id="sampleworld">
<account id_number="1"/>
<server hostname="geeksters.net" port="5040"/>
<patcher_url href="update.multiverse.net/patcher/world_patcher.html"/> **With a HTTP
<update_url href="update.multiverse.net/sampleworld/update/"/> **With a HTTP
</loopback_world_response>
</client_config>

It's updated from the multiverse server and then when it goes to run the game, it stops with the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

The client exceptions.log is reporting:

WARN [2012-01-02 23:15:42,360] Exception Got an exception in world connect: System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.

And the server login_manager.out log is reporting:

DEBUG [2012-01-02 07:15:45,253] LoginConnection-1 LoginPlugin: code 7 (30 bytes)
ERROR [2012-01-02 07:15:45,253] LoginConnection-1 Unknown message code 7

Any ideas on what I should be looking for or what I've done wrong??

Thanks!!

I don't know, but i just followed the very convoluted, out of date, wiki, and got the same errors for sampleworld. This is so confusing its not even funny. I have the linux server up, and serving sampleworld media and patch... client gives this error nonstop. Nothing substantial in the logs except the same errors your receiving...
